Perhaps Ryan, you are looking the wrong places with the wrong attotude 
showing through. My son turened 16 and six days later had a job starting at 
$8/he first 30 days then $10 as part time netwpork coordinator for a medical 
supply firm
They even pick him up at school and drop him off at home.
We do NOT live in lap of luxury yet but he is fending well for a 16 year old 
w/o a license. He is now learning to save 1/2 of what he makes for rainy days 
and maturing quite well. You sir, might be better off with two things which 
my son has learned #1 get off the computer and learn social interaction with 
people #2 learn the networking concept.
